Schools, trains halted at Massachusetts digs out from record storm

(Reuters) – Schools and most public transit systems remained closed around Boston on Tuesday as eastern Massachusetts dug out from its third major winter storm in two weeks. …

“We’re now up to basically somewhere between six and seven feet of snow across most of eastern Massachusetts over the past 14 days,” said Governor Charlie Baker, who ordered nonessential state personnel to stay home, in part because of the shut down of all rail service by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/10/us-usa-weather-idUSKBN0LE1QU20150210

More than 2 feet of snow piled up in parts of New England Monday, breaking records set 37 years ago as forecasters warned still more winter weather was on the way.

MyFoxBoston.com reports that 60.8 inches of snow have fallen in Boston over the past 30 days, shattering the previous record of 58.8 inches set on Feb. 2, 1978.

Boston and areas south of the city were hardest hit, with the National Weather Service reporting unofficial measurements of 26.5 inches in Weymouth, 26 inches in Sharon and 24.9 inches in Norwell. Forecasters expected more than 20 inches on the ground in Boston before the storm winds down early Tuesday.

Forecasters warned that more snow was expected Thursday and again next weekend, and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said that potentially record-low temperatures and wind chills are expected later in the week.

The region continues to clean up, but there is no place to move the latest snowfall. The storm forced the Boston transit system to suspend all rail service for the entire day Tuesday to clean tracks and repair equipment. http://www.foxnews.com/weather/2015/02/10/new-england-braces-for-another-big-snow-storm/

God controls the weather and sometimes provides extreme weather for correction. And that includes snowy weather. Notice the following:

5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. 6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;… 9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north.  10 By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen.  11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. 12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth.  13 He causes it to come, Whether for correction, Or for His land, Or for mercy. (Job 37:5-6, 9-13)

22 “Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail, 23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war?  (Job 38:22-23)

The Bible repeatedly warns, especially in the Hebrew scriptures, that various sins will result in destructive weather (see Weather Blessings and Sorrows).  Weather is not as random as most seem to want to believe.

Back in 2009, in a book, I mentioned the following was about to happen:

Considering all of the natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, food shortages, and economic problems in the past few years, perhaps this would be a good time to explain that the Bible shows that these problems were expected to occur prior to the great tribulation. Those outside the Bible have sometimes referred to a time such as this as a time of transition or chaos. …

There will be a generation that will experience end-time events, beginning with “sorrows,” including the Great Tribulation, heavenly signs, and finally the return of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:5-34). …

Mark recorded the same account of this time from his perspective:

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” 5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit…” (Mark 13:3–11).

Thus, in both Matthew and Mark it is clear that a time called “the beginning of sorrows” precedes the Great Tribulation.

Notice that in Mark’s account he uses the term troubles. Troubles would seem to include economic and political problems, in addition to those specifically mentioned, such as wars, famines, natural disasters, and pestilences. …

Odd weather patterns result in food shortages and natural disasters. Matthew 24:7
The world is actually in a berserk transition, as the real age of peace is not yet here. It may be a period of chaos. It is the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8

(Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. Nazarene Books, 2009)

The above was published because it was consistent with Bible prophecy. We have been seeing odd weather patterns and the United Nations and others are concerned about related food shortages.

The Bible ties in practices of Sodom and Gomorrah with weather problems (e.g. Jeremiah 50:38-40).  The USA more and more is adopting the homosexual agenda (see, for one example, yesterday’s post US Supreme Court pushes homosexual marriage on Alabama).  Extreme weather should  be a wake-up call to repent.

The warnings from the Bible are going out, but many will ignore them.  Will you?
